Make Decoupaged Chevron Pumpkins!! {tutorial}

Well, I recently made some pillows for my family room and thought it might be fun to try to decoupage some Fall pumpkins with some of the leftover fabric to fit into my family room decor!

I had some leftover chevron pillow fabric. So I experimented a little and came up with some sophisticated Chevron Pumpkins. I love them!!

Here’s what I did:

I cut up my fabric into 2.5 inch wide strips.

Then I soaked the fabric in water. I think this makes the material stretch a little and conform to the curves of the pumpkins.

I put a thin layer of the Mod Podge on the pumpkin, then I smoothed the strip on the pumpkin.

I put a layer of Mod Podge over the top of the strip too

Then I layered the next strip of fabric with the edges overlapping, until the whole surface of the pumpkin was covered.

The last thing I did was let the pumpkin lay out in the sun until it was dry.

And I thought it would be fun to make a silver pumpkin to go with my Chevron ones. So I took some Krylon Metallic Spray Paint and painted a Dollar Tree pumpkin. Super easy. I love the shine with the Chevron!

Have a Terrific Day!!
